Lonely Yukon Stars
[Intro]

[Verse]
E A E
Lonely yukon stars hanging high in the sky
B A E
scattered careless and loving by an artist on high
E A E
to their silent song the sighing wind adds its part
B A E
a song that can only be heard by the heart
G E
northern lights that hang veiled curtains of fire
G E B7
lead me to the one waiting warm by the fire
E B A E
lightly goes the moon on its melancholy way
B A E
leading me homeward as night becomes day
